I’ve been on countless adventures, over the last several years especially; from shark diving to skydiving, from trekking the Sahara to biking Moab. The latest adventure? Doing David Goggin’s 4x4x48: running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. I’m not a runner, it wasn’t a race and I’m not training for something longer. I did it for two reasons:

Life can be an incredible adventure.

Not enough money. Not enough time. If I was a little older. Maybe in a different situation. Not until the pandemic is over... We bump into limits it seems no matter where we turn. They’re all the things that, conceptually at least, are standing between us and what we want to achieve. What if there was a formula to achieve what we want using those limits to our advantage instead of being stopped by them? Well, there is…

No matter where you’re at amidst the chaos, it’s revealing a method that has proven the first step of creating order for generations. It’s served royalty, military leaders and business leaders since the beginning of time: word. We can speak order into chaos.

“It's easy to lead when times are good, the true testament of a leader is when crap hits the fan do you run and hide or do you stick your neck out there and lead?”

We all have stories. We all have tough times. But take a step back for a second.

It’d be great if there was a silver bullet to give you significant positive change, wouldn’t it? Like a light switch we could win the lottery and transform our business or life overnight. While maybe not as immediate as a light switch, there is a secret sauce.

It’s only when you’re out of your comfort zone, perhaps faced with intractable or seemingly insurmountable challenges, that you find your true self.

Exponential growth is available to all of us in varying capacities. We don't get there by focusing on the product or service alone. To realize significant positive gain effectively and predictability, it requires a process.

It’s only when you’re out of your comfort zone, perhaps faced with intractable or seemingly insurmountable challenges, that you find your true self.

The answer to what time is it right now is not on a clock. It is kairos.

Limited resources seem to create constraints on limits of what is possible. And in a way they do. The resources are fixed at a point in time. It’s HOW we use those resources that opens up new possibilities and taps into our own human potential. Let me tell you what I mean.

When we’re mired in chaos, uncertainty and fear of what might come next, there’s exactly one thing to do: support others.

Resilience is something we build overtime.

The most important condition to realizing innovation (not just a good idea) is constraints. Without constraints, there are limitless possibilities, and whereas anything is possible, nothing is realized.
